Hey there, soon-to-be parents! Can you believe you’re already 28 weeks along? Welcome to the start of your third trimester—how exciting! While it’s a time for celebration, you might also be feeling some common discomforts like back pain and sciatica. But hang in there, you’re in the seventh month now and just two months away from meeting your little one!
What’s Happening with Your Baby at Week 28?
Your baby is growing and developing rapidly! By now, they’re starting to experience REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which means they could be dreaming already. How cool is that? Plus, your baby can now blink! Those tiny eyes that have been closed tightly can now open and close, complete with fluttering eyelashes. Isn’t that adorable?
And get this—fetuses at this stage often stick out their tongues. While we’re not entirely sure why, it could be that they’re tasting the amniotic fluid surrounding them. Such a fascinating time for them!
Your Body Changes
As you enter month seven, you might notice some changes in your body. It’s normal to feel a bit more uncomfortable, especially with your growing belly. Just remember to take care of yourself, rest when you can, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support if you need it.
